Antigenic relatedness of 17 strains of human cytomegalovirus

S L Zablotney et al. Am J Epidemiol. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

A 10 minute kinetic neutralization test was used to assess antigenic relatedness among 17 strains of human cytomegalovirus. Hyperimmune guinea pig sera exhibited extensive cross-reactivity. However, the data did suggest that there may be four antigenic groups represented in this collection of CMV strains. Available epidemiologic data for these strains do not provide any discernible basis for this grouping.
